We felt very priviledged to get married in Belvidere. Belvidere Manor Hotel hosted our reception and most of our guests. We couldn't have chosen a better place. It's in an incredibly beautiful and peaceful location on Knysna lagoon. It's a wonderful hotel with lovely private garden cottages, pretty gardens and a stunning view. Sue was incredibly patient and helpful right... More

This hotel is situated in one of the most beautiful coastal regions along the Indian ocean in South Africa. We stayed in a 3 bedroom cottage with porch and enjoyed the garden, the terrace breakfast, the evening BBQ -braai organised for our group (15 people). Knysna city and its lagoon is a real gem, take the boat tour on the... More

This place is gorgeous. Part 3 of our honeymoon in South Africa and first have to wind down. The garden cottage was lovely but the best parts about this place was the breakfast on the terrace and the pool. The view out to the lagoon is amazing. A wander onto the jetty is just so romantic. The little pub on... More

Top of our list for a revisit after we stayed here 10 years ago - little has changed - staff (especially the irrepressible Jeffrey) as friendly as ever. Expensive but worth every penny. Beautiful private cottages (2 or 4-person) surrounding a lovely garden filled with birds. Delicious breakfasts with an amazing view from the terrace out over the Knysna lagoon.... More

We stayed for 2 nights to attend a wedding at Pembrey's up the road, but fell in love with Belvidere Manor. Although expensive we can now understand why, it really is a beautiful serene place. We were lucky enough to get in touch with the owner of 24 Belvidere and although we didn't book directly with the Manor we were... More

This is an outstanding place to stay, the position perfect, the staff exceptional, and you have everything to hand if required. We could find no fault in the whole experience of staying at Belvidere Manor, except if we had known we would have chosen a property that was in a sunnier position, but it was booked by an agency and...

A fine place to relax on the Garden Route. The cottages are ideal for a longish stay, too. Super! , as my favorite staff member says so often. We would happily return here the next time we come to S. Africa.

Very nice cottage, and lovely views. The pub has great food. Area is a bit quiet but also very peaceful. Jeffrey makes everything run smoothly although not sure what would happen if he had a day off, he seems to be everywhere. Breakfast is good but can be slow if you are in a rush.
